If you own a home and feel that you are ready for the responsibility of owning a dog, you may want to make sure that your house is ready for them. While the most important things that you want to provide them with are food, water, exercise, and shelter, you may to go even further.

For instance, you may know that you will need to bathe them on a regular basis, especially when you spend a lot of time with them outside where they can get dirty quickly and easily. This makes investing in bathroom remodeling worthwhile when you want to do all your dog bathing there.

Walk-In Shower

An excellent feature worth investing in is a walk-in shower because this will make it infinitely easier to bathe your dog compared to doing it in a bath and shower combo. This kind of shower makes it possible for your dog to walk right into the shower area on their own. Even if you do need to encourage them or bring them to the shower, you will not have to reach over a tub wall.

Linear Drains

When you bring your dog into the shower to bathe them, you may worry about the drain filling up with their hair and getting clogged. Fortunately, you can prevent this from happening by installing linear shower drains over the standard one that you may be accustomed to seeing.

The great thing about these kinds of drains is that you will have a much easier time cleaning them on your own since you can remove the cover and see anything clogged underneath.

Storage

Although you could bathe your dog with just the warm water that you get from a shower, you will likely want to use products such as shampoo and conditioner. Also, you may want to have flea shampoo on hand in case your dog ever has flea issues that you want to handle right away.

Another thing that you may want to have on hand in the bathroom is separate towels that you can use exclusively for your dog. Adding built-in storage in the shower as well as somewhere in the bathroom will give you dedicated space to put products and towels to use on your dog.

Before adopting a dog, you should consider hiring professionals to take on these bathroom projects because they will make it easier to bathe your dog in an efficient manner.
